"Alex Dino"

I had to contain myself so much... but so much, that I realized that I had great willpower, knowing that I could not act freely because I could be discovered and even though I felt the rage of the world climbing up my throat, my arms remained in position of rest behind my back.

This Yuna was a real jerk or maybe it was the impression I got when I met him, simply because I knew he was taking what was mine.

As expected, he passed me in a second, just as in an effusive hug he lifted Cagalli into the air and I could do nothing but witness and swallow.

We had talked about it, I trusted her, she had me... and we would endure the situation with that idiot while we found a way to handle the situation with the emirates.

But I felt like I wasn't going to be able to... I was forced to bow my head just for her and watch her walk away.

That's when I received a message on my phone terminal.

From: Cagalli "Please… don't leave me alone."

Did she want me to watch him hold her?... But it was natural, I was her bodyguard... but beyond that, the man she loved and who guarded her as the most precious thing... Cagalli knew that she would never allow the subject to will spread in my presence.

I approached quickly without being noticed, except for her who looked at me with great gratitude, she seemed disgusted with him.

It was natural... it was the first time they had met again in a long time and when he assumed she was his fiancée, knowing she was so intelligent and beautiful, the bastard was totally enthralled with my girlfriend.

-I thought you had already retired, boy... it's clear that this is a reunion party with my Cagalli... don't worry, I'll take her home.

That man said goodbye to me with the wave of a hand.

-Excuse me... I...

How to refute it if he was one of the eminences who commanded the country?...

-Yuna… he is my bodyguard, Alex Dino. He is in charge of my care by direct order of the Council... it doesn't seem like a good idea for him to separate himself from his work, just like that...

Cagalli's words brought my soul back to my body.

-Well... whatever you want, but it's not necessary for him to be here, he can wait outside or at the entrance.

-As you say…

With a bow that almost left me breathless, I left the restaurant, the sun was in its greatest splendor so I had to put my hand to my forehead. Everywhere I looked there was nothing but coast so if I stayed there I was only going to fry myself, but I couldn't go back either… I didn't want to see her with him…

Maybe I spent a couple of minutes wondering if I was going to burn when a soft touch on my shoulder called me back to reality.

-What are you doing?...

It was my princess, looking at me with that concern that I awakened so many times in her.

-Cagalli…

I then looked in the direction of the entrance of the place to make sure we were alone.

-I told him that I had forgotten something in the car...

I won't be able to... It was the first thing I thought I should say to him, but I was thinking from my own weakness so I refrained.

-He's an idiot...

I blurted out without holding back.

-Yeah…

Cagalli tried to take my hand, but it was too risky for us to be seen so I moved from the place.

-We'll talk later... for now, if you've forgotten something, I'll bring it to you, Representative Athha...

The change in my way of speaking surprised her, I could notice how she looked at me immediately, and then she understood that if I had done it that way it was because Yuna Roma had gone out in search of her.

-Cagalli, it's not worthy of you to leave me waiting like that!

Just hearing his screams gave me a headache.

-I told you that I would be back soon… Yuna…

Cagalli looked at me with a kind of gratitude for enduring mixed with guilt for putting me through that. But it was to be expected, after all the guy was her childhood friend and now that the engagement had been unveiled for execution he would feel more entitled than ever, he must feel like a god...

They went back inside and I decided to do the same, in the end, I stayed sitting at the reception, I was going to wait for her just as she asked me, I was not going to leave her alone and I had to start getting used to the idea that this would continue...

Each one had arrived on their own, so I would have at least that consolation, I would take her back with me.

Not long ago, Cagalli had acquired a black sports car that we used as a means of transportation under the pretext that her bodyguard was escorting her, but I couldn't deny that a vehicle like that helped a lot in the feeling of freedom that I so needed, the thought made me feel somewhat spoiled.

I digressed a little while playing with the key in my hand, which I didn't notice when they finally came out.

- You should go straight home, now that we are reunited it is not wise for people to see you alone in the city.

- I have another place to go first, but thanks for the concern, I will keep that in mind.

Cagalli's character was still intact, thank heavens. She did not let herself be intimidated by what seemed like a possessive fiancé.

- You heard.

The Seiran addressed me with a hand signal indicating that I should follow his order no matter what the princess told me.

I couldn't help but look at him for what he was, a piece of trash, even if it was only for the half second it took for Cagalli to notice and distract him.

- Well, we're leaving now. Alex?

She told the man and then called me. I just followed her. To then resume my role and calm, I went to open the door for her to enter the vehicle like the lady she is.

We waited for him to leave the parking lot first and it was then that I felt like I melted into the car seat, I had been so tense the whole time that even my bones hurt.

- Where are we going?...

I sighed, trying to regain stability.

- What do you mean, where?... Today I shouldn't return to headquarters... so take me to your house...

- I don't know... if it would be a good idea at all...

I wanted to kill myself for saying that, but it was the truth, the way I felt could hurt her in several ways.

- You... and your sexy melancholy...

- Cagalli…

- Everything will be fine, let's not let the opportunity we have to be together be lost, since it is not always possible... I want my kisses... and my cuddles... I deserve them!

My princess made a fake pout that seemed to me, as always, to be the most tender. But the idea still crossed my mind, I was dominated by that feeling of anger for that guy who only thought about showing her that she was mine... only mine.

But she wasn't going to give in, even if she looked away, there was her hand resting on my knee and slowly squeezing my thigh.

- Representative…

- That?...

She hid her face against my shoulder and raised her hand a little further on my leg.

- Cagalli... if I take you to my house right now... I'm going to take you so hard that I don't think I'll be able to contain myself...

I whispered, surprised at myself and taking advantage of the fact that her face was hidden. But I had never felt like this, jealous and upset.

- Swear it...

Her response indicated to me that more than being scared by my words, she was attracted and had begun to provoke me.

- I'm not playing…

- Me neither…

The giggle he let out relaxed me a little, the situation was awakening my senses, distracted from where we were.

- That?...

I humored her with that sweet humor.

- Nothing... it's just that I thought... At what moment did my sweet and modest Athrun transform into this very outgoing man?...

- Forgive me... Did I offend you?... I'm really sorry, it's just that you...

She silenced my concern with a stolen kiss that I immediately returned.

- Let's go to your apartment.

Her words were received by my brain as an immediate order.
